After being harried by lunatic lorry drivers and witnessing crashes galore, I'd expect our mongols will not be to sorry to leave the precarious roads of Romania. The latest update on the map puts them in Ruse (Pyce) just over the river border and into Bulgaria where we are informed :
" we are all looking forward to a wash in the black sea "

| A distraught Svetlana weeps, holiday in tatters |
Now, consider the poor Bulgarian factory employee from the suburbs of Sofia working twelve hours a day six days a week pulling a lever backwards and forwards for a pittance of a wage. What he works and saves for is his annual weeks holiday with his wife and kids to some quaint Black Sea resort to forget the moil of every day life in Bumbeskus' Rivet Factory. He plants himself down with his wife on the beach his newspaper underarm while the kids head for the sea with their car inner-tube. All of a sudden little Svetlana shrieks to her dad that there are miscreants bobbing about in the surf. On investigation the concerned father stumbles on a sight more depressing than his rivet machine at the factory. Five pasty Englishmen unshaven, unkempt, circled by a greasy film on the water washing their smalls with a packet of Daz. Naked and oblivious to the holidaymakers they wallow about like seals, grunting and splashing without a care in the world. Dad covers little Svetlana's eyes and explains that these heathens are from Britain and such behaviour is commonplace and to be expected, then rapidly gathers up his chattels, and moves his dismayed family a hundred yards further down the beach, his vacation in tatters.
I must make one correction the the above as I did write that they were "washing their smalls". I was informed before they set off on the rally by Mr Pittaway that he would be travelling "commando" so consequently he would just be cleaning his shorts.
One other update received from Dai :
"landed on our feet great hotel getting hot dai "
Remind me why they took tents ?
